Soon, the battalion was ambushed and the droidartillery destroyed most of their transports. In such harsh conditions, Denal took charge of the battalion and ordered to call for reinforcements. However, the enemy droids were jamming all signals. Hoping to find a way out, Denal ordered his men to form up. Soon, one of the troopers picked up a signal from a communications relay station. It was decided to capture it to contact the fleet. After capturing the station and protecting it against droid counter attacks, the clones were able to contact the Republic fleet, that sent a LAAT/i gunship to pick them up.
